Meeting the change challenge: managing growth in the nonprofit and public human services sectors

Abstract

The current economic climate has been particularly hard on nonprofit and public human services organizations, frequently resulting in managing organizational decline. The authors believe that the dominant concern should be with fostering organizational growth. To this end, the study suggests that nonprofit board members and executives, as well as public sector leaders, need to concern themselves with the concurrent management of two agendas; running the shop and meeting the change challenge. This can be done effectively through the use of Strategic Issue Management, which is a set of techniques that represents a blend of traditional strategic management and change management approaches.
